CORRIGA AND BLAINE.
A Far Fetched Story OF Marriage,
Theology and Politics.

A Far Fetched Story OF Marriage,
Theology and Politics.
NEW YORK, April 2s.-lSpecial Telegram
to the BEE. 1.-The Times this morning prints
curious story about the alleged hostility of
Archbishop Corrigan and the Catholic church
to President Cleveland and the efforts to
defeat his denomination. Most of the in
formation is alleged to come from close
friend of DR.. McGlynn, as it is well known
here that McGlynn was powerful factor in
causing Cleveland's election and that Cleve-
land expressed his gratitude afterwards. DR.
McGlynn Is reported as saying that COrrigan
told him he was opposed to Cleveand's cleo
tion. The Times story contains the following
about Corrigan's attitude toward Blaine if he
is again candidate. This statement of the
archbishop's attitude comes from his grace's
own lips and was told by Mrs. James G.
Blaine, jr., to whom he said it. She, it will
be remembered, was Miss Nevins, the
granddaughter of an old demoeratic
Catholic. Just before her wedding, ac-
companied by Father Dacey, she and young
Mr.. Blaine went to the palace and applied to
the archbishop for a dispensation to allow
her to marry a protestant. The archbishop
hesitated about granting. the dispensation
and made various objections of a trivial
nature, all of which the young lady, who is
very bright and well informed. met and
answered. AT length he SAID TO MI. Blame:
"You should consider carefully the step
which you wish to take, for it may imperil
the chances of your illustrious father in the
campaign OF 1855" Miss Nevins understood
him TO mean that If lh married Catholic
girl the proteStants might take
Otfense and vote against Mr.. Blaine.
The young couple made no reply to this, and
the archbishop continued: "Your father is
one of the most eminent, ii not the most
eminent in the country, and you should con-
slider how this action of yours may affect his
interests" Miss Nevins fired up at this and
replied to the archbishop: ''Then your OBJ
lection to our marriage is mere political
possibility. You fear that the marriage of
two young people who love one another
dearly, will be the cause of some injury to the
political prospects of somebody else. That Is
a strange objection" The archbishop col
Ored at this onslaught which was probably
made with a. good deal of vigor,
as Mrs. Blaine possesses great
force of character, and he felt out
ragged by the lack of consideration for her po-
sitlon and her womanly feelings, which the
archbishop eyinced. "If you will not give
us permission to marry" said she, ~ know
enough Of theology to be aware that our
marriage, if not celebrated according to rites
of our church, will be perfectly valid, and
no matter by whom performed. and we shall
be married either with or without your
permission"

OTTAWA, April 2s.-TSpecial Telegram to

Welch, member for Prince Edwards Island,

that unless the promises made by the union
OF provinces be maintained to the very letter,
his province would withdraw from the con-
federation. He did not threaten secession,
but simply pointed out what was the sure
outcome Of the great feeling of unrest now
prevailing there. He said that the cOnfeder-

and progress Of industry was maintained,
and the live and the dead capital joined
hands in the common welfare.
Towards the end Of the last century the
doctrines of political economy, under the
plea OF free contract, broke up the old rela-
tions Of employer and employed, and the con-
tlict between capital and labor became per-
petual The power OF capital Is all but ire
sistible, for the poor must labor for the bread
Of life. Hunger lays the necessity upon them
for the sake of their homes and selves When
the law ceased to intervene, organizations for
mutual defense straightway rose. The
Knights of Labor and English trades unions
represent the right of labor and the rights of
association for its defense. Tho power of
capital may be estimated from the fact that
out of more than 100 strikes not more than
five or six have ended In favor of the work.
ing men. Their dependence is so absolute,
and the hunger and sutferings at their homes
of weak women and innocent children are
so intolerablc and imperious, that the con-
fict between the live and the dead capital is
most unequal, and the freedom of contract in
which political economy gloriies itself hardly
exists. 1t is surely, then, the office of the
church to protect the poor and the labor which
has built up the human commonwealth.
Cardinal Gibbons carefully guards the
Knights Of Labor from the charges Of vio-
lence which sometimes arise from organiza-
tiOns of industry. In England deeds Of vio-
lence have stained the cause of labor, bat IL
was precisely ignored when the legislature
had as yet not recognized the liberty of the
association. The legal recos snitlon Of trades
unions brought with 1t the legal restraints
which render such acts punishable at law.
1t may he said that the violent deeds OF
trades unionsts have ceased to exist They
were abuses of all the undeniabie liberty
which the law did not protect. The same is
true when the liberty of association is
abused to oppress the liberty of labor. In
those who are outside Of the association such
acts are not only abuse but suicide, for the
liberty of labor is vital to the liberty OF asso-
citation. The law, In recognizing both, pro-
tects both. They exist when each respects
the other. Whed they clash they cease to be.
The law protects both alike, for law is the
guardian of all liberty.

Belgium's Cattle Bill.

lCopyrtght 1887 by James Gordon Bcanett.l
BRUSSELS, April 28-l New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE. THE discussion
of the cattle bill continued. Dumont, the au-
thor of the bill, allied the proposals so that
the duty would be reckoned according to the
weight instead of according to the head of
cattle. Several free trade members contend
that this change would be equivalent to an
increase of so per cent duty. One free trader,
Mr.. Piermse, said: "You want to prevent the
importation of American cattle. Well the
people cast hungry looks toward the fine and
cheap American fiocks Of cattle. Let the
latter be imported if the masses profit by it."
The debate adjourned till tomorrow.
